Local clergy have conducted a rededication service at Midlands Co-op Funeral Services' new-look funeral home on the High Street in West Bromwich, to mark its £20,000 refurbishment.
Father Ian Newton of St Phillips C of E Church, Reverend Andrew Smith of All Saints C of E Church, Reverend Phillip Thomas of West Bromwich Methodist Church and Father Louis Le Van Hong of St Michael’s Catholic Church conducted the rededication service and blessed the chapels of rest. The Mayor of Sandwell, Cllr Geoff Lewis, was also in attendance and performed the official plaque unveiling.
The funeral home has been completely refurbished and redecorated throughout in a contemporary style including new floors, carpets, blinds and furniture.
In terms of facilities, the funeral home has two arranging rooms where families can discuss their requirements in private and two private chapels of rest where families can pay their last respects to loved ones.
Funeral Director, Rick Long, said: "We are all absolutely delighted with the refurbishment which has made the funeral home much brighter and more welcoming. We wanted to hold a special service to re-bless the home now that the work is complete and show off our new look facilities. In addition to local clergy and Council representatives, we also invited a number of families that we have recently supported. I’d like to thank everyone who joined us on the day and hope that they were as impressed with the work as we are."
Midlands Co-op Funeral Services provides a 24 hour service, seven days a week. In addition to funeral arranging, Rick and his team, Sheila Carter and Helen Spencer, both funeral Administrators, are also able to offer advice on floral, masonry and funeral stationery requirements and provide details on Funeral Bonds and probate.
